I moved my website to Bluehost.com from another web host I was not happy with. It started out fine for the first few months but then problems started to happen. I got a big boost in traffic from Google and then the next day my site goes down. I found out that Bluehost had deactivated my account due to
"site causing performance problems"
I received no warnings. Now a happy exciting time with more traffic for my websites turns into panic as I wait for support to open so I can call and get my account reactivated.
Talking with tech support the NEXT DAY they said the plugins I used with Wordpress are taking to much processor time and I need to either get those fix or upgrade my account at Bluehost with a better hosting plan. Well, thousands of people use the same wordpress plugins that I do so I know it is not them. Basically I am forced to pay Bluehost more money for a service I already paid 2 years for.
In the end I pay as I can't have my site down while I find another hosting company and wait to get my site and domain transferred. After my 2 year contract is up I plan to move hosting companies again unless Bluehost really pulls up their socks in the customer service department.
